She grew up with The children of the stars In the Hollywood hills and the boulevard Her parents threw big parties Everyone was there They hung out with folks like Dennis hopper, Bob Seeger, sonny and Cher Now, she feels safe In this bar on Fairfax And from the stage I can tell that She can't let go and she can't relax And just before She hangs her head to cry I sing to her a lullaby, I sing Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Rockabye She still lives with her mom Outside the city Down that street about a half a mile And all her friends tell her She's so pretty But she'd be a whole lot prettier If she smiled once in a while `cause even her smile Looks like a frown She's seen her share of devils In this angel town But, everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Rockabye I told her I ain't so sure About this place It's hard to play a gig in this town And keep a straight face Seems like everyone here's got a plan It's kind of like Nashville with a tan, but, Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye Everything's gonna be all right Rockabye, rockabye,rockabye, bye, bye Bye, bye
